One of the main highlights of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's epic period drama Padmaavat is the song Khalibali. Ranveer Singh, as Alauddin Khilji, unleashes his total madness as he shows off his hysterical dance moves to take you by sheer surprise. But what exactly went behind the making of the robust song? The makers have unveiled a behind-the-scenes video that has choreographer Ganesh Acharya giving dance lessons to Ranveer. Interestingly, at a point in the video, Bhansali can be seen talking about a particular dance step saying, "Bachcha bachcha karega ye."

While Ranveer and the team Padmaavat appear to be having a lot of fun during the making of Khalibali, the reality is far cry. Ranveer, in an interview with noted journalist Anupama Chopra, had revealed that shooting Khalibali was a strenuous task for him. He had said, "I think it was Day 37, my brain had become mush, my body had become pulp, I didn't know when I was coming and going. The shooting process was very difficult. The final action battle with Shahid (Kapoor) was extremely difficult. Shooting Khalibali was very difficult. I could barely stand and I had to do this dance."

Khalibali, composed by Bhansali and sung by Shivam Pathak with lyrics penned by AM Turaz, has caught the fancy of music lovers ever since its release. Besides Ranveer, Padmaavat also stars Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor. The film hit the screens on January 25. It has earned around Rs 270 crore at the domestic box-office. Made on a budget of Rs 190 crore, Padmaavat is bankrolled by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Bhansali Productions.
